Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a bowl and stir in oil and 3 tablespoons lime juice.
Step 2
Pour marinade over chops in a glass or ceramic shallow baking dish, then turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature, turning over once, 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 3
Chop peach, then toss with sugar and remaining teaspoon lime juice in a medium bowl and let stand 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in tomatoes, scallions, chile, herbs, and vinegar. Let stand while grilling pork.
Step 5
Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
Step 6
Meanwhile, remove chops from marinade and pat dry, leaving any bits of garlic. Sprinkle chops on both sides with chili powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total).
Step 7
Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once and moving to area with no coals underneath if flare-ups occur, until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 8
Serve chops with relish.
If you aren't able to grill outdoors, chops can be cooked in a hot oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium-high heat, turning over once, 12 to 14 minutes total.

Back to TopThis was delicious. Didn't have the chile so omitted it and it didn't matter. The relish is wonderful and will work well with so much more!

I prepared this with no modifications and thought it was delicious. We're continuing to enjoy the relish with other dishes!

RELISH WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! (Can also imagine it with roast chicken.) Baked chops at 350 instead of grilling. Added 1 TBS mango chutney to the relish for extra touch of sweetness. Didn't have jalapeno and used 1 big tomato instead of minis. Fresh basil and mint were from my garden and peaches are in season. Make more relish next time!

Delicious salsa! Heeding the "bland pork" advice of others, I added salt to the lime-garlic-oil marinade and let it marinate for an hour at room temp before putting it in the fridge to marinate for several hours more. It's a good thing I did! Otherwise I'm guessing it would've been bland. I served this dish with summer corn on the cob, green beans and a bold red meritage and thought it made for a great meal!

This is a very good quick and easy recipe for pork chops. Nice week night meal for family, but not "company worthy". I followed the recipe fairly closely. The salsa has a nice fresh flavor, it is good, but not spectacular. I would not hesitate to make this again, but only for family.

I LOVED the salsa part of this, but quite frankly the pork chop was a tad boring. It was missing some oomph, but I don't know what that oomph might be. I gave it two forks b/c the salsa was delicious.

This was fabulous. Used a tenderloin instead of chops. I did make one change, I didn't add jalapeno because I have a two year old.

3 1/2 forks! Really very tasty! I made the relish with white peaches, red grape tomatoes and some reg. yellow tomatoes. Looked great and tasted even better. Grilled boneless pork loin chops. Will definitely make again and again.

Wonderful summer dish with great flavors. I would definitely make the relish with other dishes or as a side.

The salsa tasted amazing for such simple ingredients. The pork on the other hand was a bit bland. I think it needed more time in the marinade. This is definitely worth trying again.

A thoroughly delicious recipe. So many pork chop recipes leave me wishing I had just made them plain and not bothered with wasting other ingredients that don't end up improving the flavor of the dish. This was tasty, easy, and perfect for a summer evening.

I disagree with those who thought chili powder was out of place. The whole dish was very good, no changes necessary.

I did this tonight and the chops were good, but nothing spectacular. The relish was just so-so.

Used chipotle instead of chili powder, and chopped heirloom instead of cherry tomatoes. This is an excellent salsa.
